Minimum tank size ?

[BoabMac63]

What would be the minimum tank size inc length ect for 7 tiger barbs 3 convicts 2 firemouths 2 salvinis?

expect to lose your barbs over time...55 I think is the min, if Salvini or convict pairs up, also expect to lose your Firemouth.

55 gallon would be a good tank size for that

55 gallon would be a good tank size for that

think 70 gallons would work better. 50 might work but it would be really risky, try to get female fish.

I would say a 75 would be fine. Just expect to lose the tiger barbs. Good luck! Also don't get too attached to the firemouths either, they will be gone in a matter of years.

I was told to expect to lose barbs but also every1 says every fish are diff and my convicts hav had 2 batches of fry and ther are still eggs in the tabk and everyonther fish is fune they even swim near the fry/ eggs and dont bother with the convicts so im not expecting to lose my barbs

convicts may attack the barbs when they try to eat the eggs
